REVIEW: Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica by Multiple Authors

August 26, 2008

Book CoverLauraD's review of Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica by 20 Authors, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel
Erotica Anthology released by Cleis Press 28 Jul 08

I'd ask y'all to guess what this collection of erotic short stories is about, but somehow I think you'd get it on the first try! Rachel Kramer Bussel has gathered 20 authors' work about one of my favorite erotic subjects, so I marched on down to the Big Box store and nabbed a copy of Spanking and a latté.   [Ed.: Very pretty cover - wish my ass looked like that.] Read more

REVIEW: Nature of the Beast by Howell, Basso, and Silver

August 26, 2008

Book CoverGwen's review of Nature of the Beast by Hannah Howell, Adrienne Basso, and Eve Silver
Historical paranormal romance anthology released by Kensington 26 Aug 08

This is a collection of three historical paranormal stories all centered on vampires and their women.  All three have some nice action and all three have lovely romances.  Not all three are of equal quality, but it's a good anthology.   One of the few Historical Paranormal Romances that I have liked.  Often when these sub-genres are blended, something suffers.  These stories handle it well.

REVIEW: What I Did On My Summer Vacation by Devine, Rawlins, and Hunter

August 23, 2008

Book Cover Wendy the Super Librarian's review of What I Did On My Summer Vacation by Thea Devine, Debbi Rawlins and Samantha Hunter
Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin Blaze 1 Jul 08

My reading has been spotty at best this year, and during these trying times I'm glad that publishers are still churning out anthologies. While a lot of readers find anthologies to be uneven affairs, I consistently turn to them when my reading mojo is waning. I'm just now pulling out of a reading slump, and in large part I have Harlequin Blaze to thank. Quick and sexy reads seem to be doing the trick these days, and their latest anthology kept me engaged and turning the pages. Read more

REVIEW: What She Craves by Lacy Danes

August 18, 2008

Book CoverLiviania's review of What She Craves by Lacy Danes
Erotic historical romance single-author anthology released by Aphrodisia 1 Mar 07

I remember this cover from a "bad covers competition." I can see why it was nominated - too much contrast, terrible hair, the weird red wash, the nipple showing, the odd pose. (Just look at his lower hand!) The cover doesn't do much to depict the contents, as I would never look at it and think, "I bet this is set in the nineteenth century." Of course, at the same time it describes them pretty well. Bad. Read more

REVIEW: When He Was Bad by Laurenston, Eden

August 7, 2008

Book CoverGwen's review of When He Was Bad by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden
Contemporary paranormal romance anthology released by Brava 1 Jun 08

This is my kind of anthology - not too many stories and they're long enough to be satisfying. With this book, we get two stories that are nice and long giving us time to really get to know the characters - shapeshifter and human alike. With one of the stories, this is a good thing. With the other, not so much. Read on to find out why... Read more
